Common questions
Anything else, call 0413 416 899 or read all the FAQs.
How much does a session cost?
It depends on the room and how long you need it. Production rooms start at $125 + GST for a half day, and the podcast and content rooms start at $75 an hour. A day booking is an 8-hour block, a half day is 4 hours, and anything after 6pm is charged at off-peak rates. Each room's rates are on its page.
What's included in the price?
Full use of the room you book. In-house gear like the computer, interface, monitors, mics and headphones can be included, but let us know what you need before the session so it's set up and ready.
How do I lock in a booking?
A deposit of half the quote confirms your dates.
What's the cancellation policy?
Cancel with less than 48 business hours' notice and 50% of the hire is charged. Less than 24 business hours' notice and it's the full amount.
Are there any other charges?
Only if something goes wrong or you need extra help. Setting off the fire alarm is $1,500 + GST, excess cleaning is $150, extra technical support is $100 an hour, and an after-hours call-out is $500. Overtime that isn't arranged before the session is also charged, so if you think you'll run long, ask first.
